Minimalism is about the essentials of life. By living a more minimalist lifestyle, you invite calm and quiet into your daily life, you become more efficient, and you take action with more conviction than before. You don’t fall prey to cheesy advertising, and you make your own goals. You think of money as a tool to reach your goals, and not the goal itself.

Being minimalist in today’s world can feel a bit like swimming upstream. My hope is that this book can be a good starting point, a catalyst and maybe even a kick in the pants if you’ve had enough of chaos, mess and disorganization in your life.

Reading about minimalism is a good start, but minimalism is something to do – it requires action! Therefore, each of the 21 days will have an unique exercise that you can apply in your own life right away. With each new challenge, you will move towards a more organized and simplified life. Are you ready?

But when Jesse is murdered and becomes the sole suspect in a federal investigation, more than her freedom and sanity are at stake. She must catch the killer herself—or die trying.
